Dr. Wendy OsefoandGizelle Bryantare bringing new meaning to the phrase “kiss and make up!”
PEOPLE has an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming sixth episode ofThe Real Housewives of Potomac’s ninth season, in which Osefo proves she and Bryant have really put water under the bridge.
When asked for her picks, Osefo quickly shows that she’s no longer harboring any ill feelings towards Bryant. “I would f— Gizelle,” she tells the women, who immediately shriek in response.
The show then cuts to Osefo’s confessional, and she explains, “We’ve been at odds for so long, and there’s nothing better than makeup sex.”

Osefo’s revelation follows her reconciliation with Bryant at the beginning of the season. It was a longtime coming for the ladies, who haven’t been close since Osefo first joined the franchise in season 5 (Bryant has been a cast member since season 1).
Fans, of course, know why. At the start of Osefo’s sophomore season, Bryant suggestedher recent “Mommy-Makeover” was in response to alleged rumorsOsefo’s husband, Eddie, had “a girlfriend” — something he vehemently denied.
Their friendship continued to fray when Bryant remained loyal toThorton after she threw a drink at Osefoduring season 7.
Past apologies at reunions and attempts to fix things never stuck. But this season, Osefo and Bryant really appear to have started over.

The former rivals met for lunch in episode 2 to work on their relationship, respectfully hearing one another’s griefs and agreeing that they would try to put their differences aside and forge a new path.
Osefo told Bryant “I can receive that”, though noted, “it’s unfair to police how we respond to things, especially when someone came knocking at your door.”
Rather than get defensive, Bryant calmly clarified, “No no no, I’m not trying to police how you respond to people. I’m just saying I don’t like it.” To which Osefo added, “I don’t like the feeling how sometimes you try to alienate people.”

That’s when the two appeared to have a breakthrough. “If I don’t like you, I don’t want to speak to you,” Bryant said. “And I will say to you, if I do have an issue with you moving forward, which hopefully I don’t, I will tell you what it is… in the moment.”
As the two laughed over oysters, Bryant said in confessional, “This is the best conversation that me and Wendy have ever had. I thought that we were not going to be besties but just be better. We might be a little bestie-ish.”
“I don’t know know if we’ll be besties,” Osefo said in her own confessional, with a laugh.
